Dynamic testing: Practical solutions to some concerns

Approximate Solutions to Some Static and Dynamic

Problems of optimal structural design for minimum deflection, maximum fundamental frequency and maximum stability are considered in this note. The optimality conditions for these problems consist of nonlinear differential equations which usually require a numerical solution [1-16]. An alternate approach based on the Ritz method is presented here, in which one works with an approximate expressio...

Practical guide to skin prick tests in allergy to aeroallergens: some concerns.

We read with great interest the GALEN-ARIA position statement regarding skin prick test to aeroallergens (1). Although we appreciate the effort in terms of its contribution to the practice, there are certain points that we believe need to be at least re-evaluated. Our concerns are mainly based on the observations we made in the largest paediatric allergy referral centre of our country (Turkey) ...

Response to Some Biosafety Concerns of Transgenic Plants

Plant genetic engineering has been the fastest technology adopted in human history to achieve quantitative and qualitative superiority by farmers. This technology has real benefits to the environment and the livelihood of farmers. Unfortunately, despite numerous credible scientific studies on the safety of GM products for the consumer and the environment, this technology still faces misleading ...

Testing with Respect to Concerns

Often the code regions that are assigned for a maintenance task do not follow the modularization of the original application program, but instead include parts of code from many different units scattered throughout the application. In this paper, we investigate an approach to testing which we call concern-based testing, which leverages existing tools to help software maintainers identify the re...
